When you notice this warning sign, contact a mechanic so they can diagnose the precise problem with the power windows. When the motor begins to fail, or if there is an electrical problem with the regulator assembly, it can cause the window to roll up slower or faster than it should. Power window systems are fine-tuned for a precise speed, not only for convenience, but to ensure the window does not break as it's rolled up or down. If you press the window button and notice that the window is rolling up slower or faster than usual, it could also be an indication that a problem with the widow motor exists. Window speed is slower or faster than usual In some cases it could simply be debris that is trapped under the switch that is causing the problem. It also might be an issue with the switch itself, which is why you should contact an experienced and local ASE certified mechanic to inspect this problem before you assume it's the window motor/regulator assembly that needs to be replaced. However, if it takes a few presses of the window button in order to activate the window motor, it's a good indication that there is a problem with the motor assembly. Some vehicles have an automatic rolling function when the button is depressed or pulled up that will automatically activate the window motor/regulator assembly. Under normal operation, the window is supposed to roll up or down when you press the button. It takes multiple presses to roll the window up or down
Noted below are a few of these common symptoms that you should be aware of so you can contact a mechanic and have the window motor/regulator assembly replaced before it causes additional damage. However, there are a few warning signs that the components inside the window motor/regulator assembly are beginning to wear out. Many of today's popular cars, trucks, and SUVs have a combined motor and regulator assembly that needs to be replaced together if one of the components is not functioning correctly.

The window regulator assembly or motor is responsible for lowering and raising windows when the power window button is engaged. One of the most common components of the power window assembly that breaks is the window motor/regulator assembly. Just like any other mechanical or electrical part, sometimes they can wear or break entirely. Today, nearly 95 percent of cars, trucks, and SUVs sold in the United States are equipped with power windows, making them normal as opposed to luxury upgrades. Back in the "old days" windows were cranked up manually, and more often than not, the handles would break, leading to driving to the dealer and having them replaced. Power windows have been a luxury for car owners since they debuted in the mid 1970s.
